How to grade Larimar
01
Colour saturation
Record the dominant hue, saturation and consistency under stated viewing conditions.
02
Pattern & contrast
Describe the visible veining, contrast and pattern without turning a house category into a value guarantee.
03
Purity
Record staining, inclusions, fractures, repairs and treatments separately from colour and pattern.
“The palm stone arrived very fast and is very beautiful as in the photo. The texture is smooth and fits right into my palm. Very great service and prompt response from Jan.”
